Today was one of those gorgeous, crisp autumn days in Cernobbio (quite possibly our favorite little city/town on Lake Como). I had quickly snapped this shot as we were heading to the Wine & Food Style event that was being held at a venue across the lawn from this castle-looking structure – it was just too beautiful to pass up.

The thing about Cernobbio is that it’s stunning year round. It’s extremely quaint, sits right on the water and has several cute restaurants, cafes and gelaterias that are absolutely worth visiting. One of our favorite restaurants is Ristorante Pizzeria Giardino (everything we’ve ever tried there is amazing!). You can also take a water taxi across the lake to Bellagio, or visit other surrounding cities on the lake.
